Car insurance premiums – 2018 quarter 1
Premiums fall for third consecutive quarter
• Premium drop anticipates Civil Liability Bill
• AA condemns claims companies' masquerade of respectability
The average price for a comprehensive car insurance policy is slightly less than it was a year ago.
Car insurance premiums peaked at their highest average cost ever during the second quarter of 2017 following sustained increases over 3 years. But they have fallen steadily since then to a Shoparound premium of £660.64, which is just 0.7% or £4.83 cheaper than this time last year, and 2.0% or £13.42p less than the fourth quarter of 2017.1
Michael Lloyd, director of AA Insurance, comments: "This is a glimmer of good news for drivers who are facing rising fuel prices and increased vehicle tax rates.
"Insurers' confidence in offering lower quotes is further boosted by the government's Civil Liability Bill to review the so-called Ogden or 'discount rate', which affects the value of compensation payouts to injured victims of car crashes.
"This will particularly affect premiums for young drivers who tend to be involved in more catastrophic crashes, and pay much higher premiums, than any other age group."
Lloyd also welcomes the government's commitment in the bill to reform the culture of spurious whiplash injury claims by unscrupulous claims management companies. They cold-call victims of collisions that weren't their fault, and persuade them to make a claim for an injury that they may not have suffered.
"This is nothing short of fraud and it costs insurers millions of pounds either defending such claims or making payments for injury claims they can't prove didn't happen.

"These con artists often attempt a masquerade of responsibility by using names similar to organisations such as the AA, or acting as pseudo-governmental departments.
"And we're receiving a lot of messages from concerned AA Members saying that someone is calling them claiming to be from the AA 'about an accident you had that wasn't your fault', and saying they could get big payouts for a whiplash injury.
"These cold calls certainly do not come from the AA. They come from apparently ordinary telephone numbers to get around 'withheld' call blockers, but if you call back the number goes nowhere," Lloyd says.
"This underlines the disgraceful underhand nature of such firms, who if successful in making a claim against a third-party insurer stand to earn thousands of pounds in legal fees and costs, on top of a compensation payment for the victim.
"This must be stopped, and I welcome moves in the bill to stop such practices which are already on the borderline of legality. It is in the interest of every driver that this whiplash culture is stamped out.
As announced by the Secretary of State for Justice, the Civil Liability Bill is now going through Parliament.2 If it becomes law in the autumn, it should be a big step towards stamping out spurious whiplash injury claims and cold-calling by claims management companies.
"In the competitive car insurance market, firms including the AA will pass on the savings they make in the premiums for customers, which the government suggests could be on average about £35 less," adds Lloyd.
According to the AA British Insurance Premium Index, young drivers continue to pay the highest premiums for their insurance. Men aged 17–22 pay on average £1,766.17 for a year's comprehensive cover, while women in the same age group can expect to pay £1,505.28.
Although gender equality for insurance has been in place for more than 5 years, young men tend to drive more powerful cars and cover greater annual mileages than women, and thus incur higher premiums.
The cheapest age to insure a car is 60–69, with a Shoparound premium of £403 and a small difference between genders. Above this age group premiums begin to rise.

Third party, fire and theft cover appears to have a higher premium than comprehensive. This is because the basket of risks reflects the type of driver that buys such cover, typically young drivers.

Home insurance premiums – 2018 quarter 1
Premiums stall after sustained increases
Shoparound quotes for home buildings, contents and combined insurance all fell over the first quarter of 2018, but remain higher than a year ago, according to the AA British Insurance Premium Index.3
Standalone buildings premiums increased over 12 months by an average of 5.1% or £5.74 to £117.47, despite a small fall over the first quarter of 2018 of 0.4% or 42p.
Contents policy quotes increased by 0.4% or 24p compared with this time last year, but over the first quarter fell 1.5% or 89p.
The Shoparound quote for a combined buildings and contents policy increased by 4.8% or £7.36 over the last year to £161.75, but over the first quarter fell by 0.3% or 42p.
Michael Lloyd, director of AA Insurance, says: "Despite the increases over the year home insurance remains good value. The average premium for a buildings policy is the same as it was at the beginning of 2011, before it reached an all-time peak of £120.94 in the last quarter of 2011.
Lloyd suggests that the rise in buildings insurance premiums, since a low of £97.08 at the end of 2015, is due to several possible reasons.
"Industry concerns over climate change and the greater likelihood of severe weather causing damage to buildings is ever present. In addition, the weak pound has led to rises in the cost of imported building materials, which means repairs are more costly, while there has been a rise in the number of 'escape of water' claims.
"However, since 2015 the burden of Insurance Premium Tax has doubled. This is nothing more than a tax on responsible people protecting their property and should not be increased."
